Early surgical reuision as a saluage procedure in the anterolateral thigh flap failure preuention — case report
Journal Title: Otolaryngologia Polska - Year 2012, Vol 66, Issue 4
Abstract
Microsurgical free flaps are considered state of the art in head and neck reconstruction after composite tumor resections. The anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap is frequently used in ablative head and neck surgery, providing superior functional and aesthetic restoration with a minor donor-site morbidity. However, flap failures do occur occasionally, vascular obstruction within first 24 postoperative hours is one of the main reasons of flap compromise. We present a case report of an early surgical exploration as a successful salvage procedure for ALT flap used for reconstruction of the massive scalp excision due to basal cell carcinoma.
